[QUOTE="ColleenB, post: 681231, member: 19887"] I can't sleep. I just feel horrible leaving. I know he needs detox. I know that going on vacation is selfish, but we as parents need a break from all this .... However it's not really a break. Maybe having the break from us is what he needs to decide for himself what is next. We have been so emeshed in this with him he needs to make decisions on his own. We talked last night, and I told him if after this week he is still struggling ( which he will be most likely) he needs to see our doctor and discuss what to do next. He did agree to this. He is a good kid. A smart kid. I just pray leaving him is maybe the space he needs to figure it out? I will have family watching over so younger son doesn't feel alone. Thank you for your support and advice. Obviously if I felt as a mental health professional he was in danger of self harm I wouldn't leave. I am not saying he is well.... But I don't think he would do anything intentional. Could something terrible happen? Yup. It could. [/QUOTE]
